I've often felt that combat in CKII was a little uninvolved, the dueling system spices it up a little, but I'd like to see more.
I'd like to see a tactics system, simmilar to the dueling mechanic, for battles where the player is able to order their forces around and depending on the order, the army might gain some bonus or another. So for example, one might order their spear/sword infantry in their center to perform a shield wall maneuver, or they might want their heavy cavalry divisions on their left/right flank to perform a charge, or their archers to loose a volley of arrows. Some pre battle preparation could be interesting as well, for exaple laying down traps on the battlefield, sending out skirmishers or preparing ambushes or taking up particular positions that depend on the terrain. All of these things could be inffluenced by your leaders abilties, troop types and numbers and could have adverse effects not only on your enemy but your leaders themselves and your own army.
